LiquidOxygen80: Archon has just confirmed that the anti-GG side is DDOSing the Escapist forums by having the #GG thread there reload itself 10000s of times over and over. THIS? THIS? Along with the harassment of transgendered people and women on the side of GG, is worth fighting for? This is it? Where's the moral high ground now?

All of this is fucking inexcusable, and this is the main reason GG will win. These parasites will literally eat their own.

Pretty much. And that second to last one? One Anita Sarkeesian.

I had a long string of expletives when I saw that last one though, it still makes my blood boil.

I'm laughing too hard to be angry XD "You can weaponize nice" written next to a bunny rabbit? For some reason that makes me think of a book I read in grade-school called Bunnicula about a vampire bunny rabbit. It was better reading than anything I've seen from the likes of Anita and her group :P

Anytime I see that I hear all of the bitching about 'nice guys', and I guess it makes me more annoyed. Because you know, you can't be nice for nice sake anymore.

The image is hilarious. Although if you really wanted to get the image, they should have used The Rabbit of Caerbannog, although I guess that's weaponized cuteness.

Hey, I remember reading that book! Actually IIRC I think I read the entire series :P

I used to be a BIIIG reader, but nowadays I mostly spend my free time working on projects, browsing the internet, watching movies, or playing games :P. I don't read very much anymore. Kind of sad in a way, but you can't do everything, and I prefer to spend my free time pursuing the things I'm passionate about.

I admit I don't read as much as I used to, but in my defense, I can pull myself away from gaming a LOT easier then I can put a book down. It's not that I don't love them, but I know how absorbed I get. Don't remember the book though.

Ha! I loved those books. I'd always take out a stack of them back when I was in middle school, from the library. I'd actually completely forgotten about them. :D

This popped into my mind. :P

Escapist forum experiences ddos attack that seems to be targeting the gamergate thread.
Video not available in your country. I'm not gonna lie I think that's the first time I've ever SEEN that. I'll have to look for an alternate source.

TwilightBard: It's a DDoS attack specifically targetting the Gamergate thread. https://twitter.com/archon/status/513365103329423360
Yeah, it's what i though it was then, thanks.

Looks like Kain is making amends for his previous "better not stir the hornet's nest" approach. He even antagonized Yiannopolous on Twitter after the latter broke the google group news.

Not surprised to see Ben Douchera's name pop up in the article either.

I'm slightly bewildered by the notice that The Escapist put on their forums

Due to database issues the forums will be offline through the weekend.
There's a time and place for being diplomatic, but if they're getting DDoSed by anti-Gamergate script kiddies, why not tell it like it is? I'm sure this would be crucial information for people who are on the fence about the issue.

I'm worried that if it is discovered the GoG has threads about Gamergate that it might be subject to DDoS attacks. It's a terrifically bad idea mind you - it's one thing to silence a subject gamers are interested in, it's quite another to attack the games themselves in a way that prevents us from playing them.

I don't think even the SJW want to wake that dragon - but they haven't exactly rational. Case in point - currently blowing up on twitter are SJW members accusing gamers of supporting child pornography (don't ask me - it's such a ridiculous assertion that I didn't bother to trace how the SJWs came to such a stupid conclusion).
